The only thing that should change is that I'll need lower and lower gears as the years go on and younger people will pull away from me and I'll be riding with a different group ... nothing new.

I may change my tune if my knees or my heart blows up, but that's is something I'll consider when that day comes, and that day is not today.

To mix my quotes to my own dubious purposes:

I know not what course others may take, but as for me, do not go gentle into that good night, rage, rage against the dying of the light.
